Missing Philly Mom

Latoyia Figueroa

The Philadelphia Citizens Crime Commission, with the help of a Philadelphia blogger, have launched a reward fund for information leading to Latoyia Figueroa, a 24-year-old pregnant mother who has been missing since July 18.

Figueroa went to a doctor's appointment with a male friend that afternoon, police said, but did not show up to retrieve her 7-year-old daughter from day care later that day.

Stephanie Stephenson, a relative who raised Figueroa after her mother was killed when she was a toddler, said that Figueroa, five months pregnant, left the friend's house in west Philadelphia "and disappeared."

Her cell phone has gone quiet since she has been missing, and her bank has recorded no transactions.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Philadelphia Southwest detective division at 215-686-3183

TO: Ms. Nancy Grace, Headline News / CNN Host

Dear Ms. Grace,

Latoyia Figueroa is still missing after 8 days.

Here's an overview of the important details in this missing woman case:

1) Latoyia is not white.
2) She does not have blonde hair.
3) She was not scheduled to get married last weekend.
4) She's from West Philadelphia.
5) There may actually be a lead or two in her case.
6) HER UNBORN BABY, HER UNBORN BABY, HER UNBORN BABY.
7) To the best of our knowledge, no one from Texas has yet offered to bring in cadaver dogs to search for Latoyia, nor have forensic dive teams volunteered to scour the Schuylkill or Delaware rivers.
8 ) Also to the best of our knowledge, the FBI hasn't been requested to participate in the investigation (even though Philly actually is in the US of A), nor have any DNA samples been rushed to Washington, DC. . .

Sincerely,

Richard
